Functional skills exams are an increasingly popular way for adults to gain qualifications in English and maths. At Newcastle Tutor Company, we understand the importance of these exams and the benefits they can provide to our learners.

Firstly, Functional Skills exams are designed to test practical skills that are relevant to everyday life and work. This means that learners can develop skills that are directly applicable to their personal and professional lives. For example, a Functional Skills exam in mathematics might include questions about budgeting, measuring and calculating quantities, and interpreting data from graphs and charts. These are practical skills that can be applied in a wide range of contexts, from managing personal finances to analysing data in the workplace.

Secondly, Functional Skills exams are recognised by employers and educational institutions. They can help learners to demonstrate their practical skills and knowledge to potential employers and can be required for entry into further education or training programs. This means that gaining a Functional Skills qualification can improve a learner’s employability and earning potential.

At Newcastle Tutor Company, we offer a range of resources and support to help our learners prepare for Functional skills exams. This includes access to practice papers, online learning resources, and one-to-one tutoring sessions with experienced tutors. Our tutors have a wealth of experience in preparing learners for Functional Skills exams, and can provide tailored support and guidance to help learners achieve their goals.

We understand that preparing for exams can be stressful, and we are committed to providing a supportive and encouraging learning environment for our learners. Our tutors are patient, approachable, and committed to helping our learners succeed.
